The argument I'm making now is that if the other two officials call a foul, even if you are the referee, it is their call, not yours.

And the point I am making is that they are going to decide if they can work it out. If they are not going to agree we are not going to blatantly misapply the rule and go with a double foul when a double foul is not warranted. And if that was not the case then assignors would never assign the Referee, they would let the officials decide on their own and in many cases the Referee has to file a game report on things that happen in the game. This would not happen on my watch without some convincing whether it is my call or not.
